Floating tennis court by Adidas and Parley for Oceans

Adidas, the sporting goods company, and Parley for the Oceans have jointly built a floating tennis court made of recycled plastic at the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park in Australia.

The floating court, which was launched ahead of the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne, is a recycled Adidas plastic used in Adidas' latest tennis collection.

According to sources, the surface of the tennis court will be transformed into a sports court to be built at a school in nearby Townsville after the Australian Open.

Parley for the Oceans founder Cyril Gutsch hopes the uniqueness of the floating tennis court will bring attention to the issue of plastic pollution in the world's oceans.

P.S. Adidas and Parley for the Oceans have previously collaborated to create classic 1990s trainers made from recycled plastic. Together, they have also created recycled plastic jerseys for Real Madrid and Manchester United, as well as hiking boots.
